Music breaks through the cracks of my vintage window
'Margeride, love and destroy
Mar-ge-ree-de, love and destroy'

Saturday night.
Can't sleep.

Vodka and Red Buffalo breath, cheapo vino del local, autopilot ramble
Arms and legs scattered across the roof terrace

Head tucked in Lady S' shoulder, whose anxious thumb
Manically twitters the keys of her new i-G4

'Zonked', she twats gleefully.
